Coventry City really divide opinion as they reveal their 2022/23 third kit made by Hummel paying homage to Coventry Cathedral.
Inspired by the Baptistery Window at the Cathedral, the Hummel Coventry third jersey is black with an eye-catching design that replicates the style of the window.
Inside the back of the shirt are the words ‘We’ve Got One To Spare’, in reference to the song sung by Sky Blues supporters about the City’s Cathedrals and this shirt also being the Third Kit.

CLUB STATEMENT:
Coventry City are delighted to reveal the new third kit for the 2022/23 season!
The new kit is available to purchase now online at ccfcstore.com, as well as in the Club Shop at the Coventry Building Society Arena and West Orchards Shopping Centre (from 9:30am and 10am respectively).
The shirt is completely bespoke to Coventry City, after the Club has worked closely with Hummel on another iconic kit design which once more celebrates the identity and history of Coventry City and the City of Coventry.
Like the home and away shirts, the kit features another iconic aspect of the world-famous Coventry Cathedral, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary of its consecration this year.
The third kit is in homage to the Baptistery Window at the Cathedral. Designed by John Piper, with the glassmaker Patrick Reyntiens, the window contains 198 brightly coloured glass panels and measures 26 metres high.
The new third kit replicates the style of the window on a black background, creating an eye-catching design which again is proudly and uniquely a Coventry City kit.

Inside the back of the shirt are the words ‘We’ve Got One To Spare’ – both in reference to the song sung by Sky Blues supporters about the City’s Cathedrals and this kit also being the Third Kit.
The shirt features a classic round neck collar, designed for comfort and style, while the famous Hummel chevrons feature prominently on the sleeves.
Coventry City’s sponsor BoyleSports is on the front of the shirt too and will be on all retail shirts, except for Junior and Infant sizes.
Replica shirts will again be available from Infants to 5XL sizes.
Coventry City’s kits use hummel’s ECO8 technology, meaning each shirt is manufactured from high-performing polyester produced from up to eight recycled plastic bottles. This helps both the Sky Blues and Hummel to reduce our carbon footprint and raise sustainability awareness amongst our fans.

The kits also feature hummel’s ZEROH2O dry-dye technology, a ground-breaking process that ensures there is zero water consumption, zero wastewater and a 50 per cent reduction in energy consumption during the dying phase of production.
Sponsors XL Motors and G&R Scaffolding also features on the kits, while the black shorts and socks are also available to purchase – again featuring the famous Hummel chevrons in a classic style.
The new kit is available to purchase now online at ccfcstore.com, as well as in the Club Shop at the Coventry Building Society Arena and West Orchards Shopping Centre.
The Championship outfit’s Chief Executive Dave Boddy said: “We are delighted to reveal the Third Kit for the 2022/23 season.
“The Baptistery Window is one of the most famous and iconic aspects of the Cathedral, and is something which is immediately eye catching and inspiring when you visit the Cathedral.
“Through our partnership with Hummel, we have worked to create another kit which we hope will prove extremely popular with our fans, while also celebrating the beauty and heritage of the City that we are proud to represent.”
As mentioned, Coventry City really divide opinion as they reveal the unqiue looking 2022/23 third kit…
@jackashbyy: Ah they were all going so well
@Ollie_Poole98: Crap
@dheydon9: That’s disappointing 😂
@Jacob_Dennis1: Best kept in the drafts this one lads
@michaellfriel: Not a fan of this one atleast it will save me some money 😅
@PSmith1379: Looks like a colour blind test FFS 🤔
@armson: Now announce the real kit
@JDSHandicapping: Shocking. Just plain black would have been miles better. At least the purple kit is legit.
@SJ_1875: Love your kits… especially as there’s been a real meaning to them. I loved the 2-Tone Away kit and this years Home. Well done to Hummel. 👍
@awbuswell: Love the idea but the execution of it isn’t the best. The away goalkeeper kit does it so much better. A simple blackout or black with gold or sky blue trim would have worked so much better imo
@MartinMJ22: Absolutely love that kit. Well smart.
@danwatson123: Rubik’s cube FC
@lee_marlowe: I love the link to the city again but not my favourite design. Personal preference really but the home and away have smashed it! 4th kit anyone? 💙 #PUSB
@d_galvinio: I absolutely love this shirt, And when I’m rocking it in 10 seasons time you’ll all wish you’d got one #PUSB

@NFFC18652: Why do you need another kit? You need to play games to wear one
@Deanohodgson7: Love the meaning behind it but not the best effort from Hummel this time round. They have spoilt us with home and away though
@RhysDavies54: What the fuck is that hahahaha, shite #PUSB
@MrLCP87: I’ll be polite on this occasion and just say it’s not for me 👍 I’m grateful we have Hummel so as not to get off the peg shirts but maybe stop trying too hard.
@Cj_covblaze: Take my money. Well done @Coventry_City @hummel1923 👏🏻 #PUSB
